The Yelich injury situation is just odd. He came back for one day about -- 2 weeks ago? Then basically they said he wasn't going to be able to do this and they needed to step back until they got some answers. Maybe I missed it but has there been any answer? Any diagnosis, any visit with a specialist, anything? It's great that he *appears* to be close to returning but it doesn't really feel like they know any more than they knew 2 weeks ago.

With Rendon getting 7/245 at 30 years old, it’s a fair bet Arenado opts out after 2021 if he plays anywhere near his usual numbers. So the Cardinals might be hoping for a 7/150 commitment to Arenado after all the Rockies money comes in, but the reality is Arenado will play there for at least one year, opt out and try to improve his situation (and I’d be willing to bet if he opts out of his contract the Rockies don’t owe the Cardinals another dime) so the Cardinals are probably looking at forming over $35 mil per after 2021 Secondly with a no-trade clause it’s a pretty big assumption that Arenado waives his no trade clause to come to Milwaukee without demanding further compensation to do so (the Cardinals had to tack on a 15 million dollar guarantee) And again if he opts out then the small return that the Cardinals gave up (and a similar package from the Brewers) would still be well worth one year of production from Arenado.

Both decisions sucked and either left us a small chance of winning the game. The far more impactful decision would have been to not call cover freaking 1 right before halftime and leave the corners on an island on the outside with the Bucs having no timeouts left.
-
His numbers haven't been great, but he's definitely got upside. Hasn't had a ton around him in Denver especially with Sutton's injuries, and he was thrown into the fire pretty quickly.
-
Would take it as is but would prefer to get Bridgewater over Lock. Have always been a Teddy fan. It just depends on how much you believe in Drew Lock as a prospect. If you like Lock then you get a year to see if he is your future, and if he's not then you get another year of development from Love. Bridgewater you know what you've got but he probably makes you more competitive in '21, then presumably Love is ready and if he's not the guy you have numerous 1st round picks to find your next guy. Both make sense for different reasons. I'd personally opt for Lock and get as many stabs at our future franchise QB as I can get.
-
IMO If you're getting 3 first rounders from Denver, anything other than just taking their next 3 first rounders would be overthinking it. There's no way to tell what happens in the future, Rodgers could severely decline or just revert to '18/'19 form. Denver could have some tough breaks and just finish 8-8 especially in that division. Who knows. NBA trades of picks are often a little different, picks are commonly protected to ensure they don't actually convey until they're near a certain part of a round.

But I wasn't talking about going 10/350 for a free agent. I was talking about going 7/150 for Arenado. That's at least as close to a 2/22 for Jackie Bradley as it is to a 10/350.

What if in this case Yelich was that dream car? That's likely the scenario the Brewers are in. Fair enough. Hope we didn’t get a lemon. And this is why I absolutely hate extending guys to enormous deals years before their contracts even expire. Which we have now done twice in the last decade. Braun had 5 years left on his deal. Five!! What is the rush to extend a commitment with that much time already left on it? In that 5 years we saw him go through 2 PED scandals and basically had a lost 2013 season. All before his new deal even started. Yelich -- 3 years out. Now since then he's had a lost 2020 season and a 2021 where he's suffered from chronic back injuries that have kept him off the field completely and left him without a single HR on May 17th. Stop extending guys years away from free agency. You are losing all those years of information and making completely unnecessary commitments that you wouldn't likely make as more information comes in. Think we would really be rushing to extend Yelich again right now, knowing what we know now?
-
I mean I'm sorry but if Denver offers this I would be accepting immediately.
-
Would love to see the Lakers get bounced in the play-in. That matchup with Golden State is probably way more sexy than any play-in game that the NBA ever expected to get.
-
I think he was simply concurring with you.
-
I don't think even the most staunch Haines defender can argue that he doesn't deserve to be fired if it's the AS break and Arcia is OPSing .875 for the Braves and appears to be "fixed". I don't expect Haines to be able to do much for guys like JBJ, Cain, etc. But these young guys -- Urias, Hiura, is where they should be able to help.
-
That would have been an absolute deflator. Great day for the offense. Ridiculously terrible game for our bullpen. Once upon a time, Freddy threw 6 scoreless innings in this game. As an aside, I don't know how the Braves are under .500. They have some really, really good players.
-
I know Hader is still great, but tell me after today that this bullpen is really good.
-
Getting Acuna was huge. It looked like we were ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
-
Acuna has 12 HR and Freeman has 11. I think our club leader has 5. Maybe 6.
-
Lol is this really happening...?
-
Avi, my man, did you see any of the previous ABs that inning? Might have been a time to take a pitch on that AB.
-
I'd say their offseason moves suggest defense was the only priority.
-
I'm not going to hold anything against JP. He didn't have it today, happens. Still one of the 3 best guys in the pen. But there's a whole lot of gas cans at the bottom.
-
I have zero confidence in Suter anytime he enters a game. I'm not saying he's bad but with his mediocre stuff I'm frankly amazed he puts up as good of numbers as he does.
-
Their elite relievers might get some work with a 1 or 2 run lead at this rate.
-
Freddy has been good all year but he's been quietly more efficient lately. Very manageable pitch count through 5. If he can turn into a 6-7 inning starter, look out for a 3 headed monster in the rotation.
-
Narvaez is a stud for sure. It's so frustrating that we can't get a healthy Narvaez+Yelich+ the Hiura we thought we had on the field at the same time. We'd be such a better team.
